🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This cheesecake is really easy to make and you must make the crust. You can always just use a store bought graham cracker crust but I promise you the homemade crust is amazing. Every time I serve this dessert people ask about the crust.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Combine all crust ingredients. Press into 9 inch regular pie shell. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Let cool before adding pie filling.
Step 2
Combine cream cheese and confectioners sugar in a bowl, mix together well. Fold in whipped topping and spread evenly into graham cracker crust. Put in fridge and let cool for around 3 hours.
Step 3
Combine all topping ingredients and bring to a boil, continuously stirring so it doesn’t burn. Cook for around 2 minutes to thicken. Remove from stove and let topping completely cool. Pour over cheesecake after it has been refrigerated for about 3 hours. Keep this cheesecake refrigerated.

⭐TIP
This cheesecake is better the next day so you can easily make this a day in advance. I like to make this one the day before, let it sit the 3 hours then add the topping and let it sit over night.

My husband said “babes that was really good, it’s so refreshing.” I used some fresh strawberries with the blackberries. Thank you for this recipe.
Do you have to use gluten free crumb crust for this cheesecake?
No, the recipe states use a “Graham cracker crust (use gluten-free graham cracker crust for this to be a gluten-free cheesecake). If you don’t want the recipe to be gluten-free, don’t use a gluten-free crust.
Can I use something besides whip cream? Could I use sweetened condensed milk? Would it still set up?
No, I don’t think that would work.
